Banana Peel for Face and Neck

All too often the neck is neglected as part of your skin care routine. Just as the area around the eyes, the neck area and décolleté, also known as the V zone, have very thin skin and are prone to show signs of accelerated aging. The neck and décolleté area need attention in order for the skin to stay supple and smooth.

Below is a recipe that will improve the appearance of the neck and bust area.

Banana Peel
Mash 1/4 of a small banana into a paste which will yield about 1/8 of a cup
In seperate bowl, whip one egg white until frothy and slowly add one tablespoon of cornstarch while continuing to whip rapidly.
Beat in the mashed banana and mix well

Apply a thin layer over the face and neck and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and follow with a toner and moisturizer.

Bananas are high in potassium and vitamin C and produce a skin tightening affect, deep cleansing and toning.
